Hi guys, I went and busted my 3570k trying to delid it. Seeing as how it's been almost 2 years since getting that build, I thought about getting an upgrade instead of just buying a replacement. So now I have 2 options.
1: Maximus VII Hero + i7 4790k + 16GB DDR3 (2133 CAS9/2400 CAS11). Will cost around $830 where I live.
2: X99-A + i7 5820k + 16GB DDR4 2666 CAS15. Will cost around $997 where I live.
My question is: Which system will provide me more value as a developer?
My use cases: Tab-heavy browsing (I have usually around 10-15 tabs at all times), heavy gaming (with a 970 jetstream), heavy coding/test running inside a Linux VM, heavy video consuming (SVP for the win!), some transcoding (probably using NVENC/QuickSync though), maybe some photo/movie editing as a hobby.
With those use cases in mind, is the $130 premium worth it for me? I also plan on upgrading to an M.2 SSD and maybe Broadwell-E in the future.
Also, would a Thermalright True Spirit 120M be able to cool an OCed 5820k at around 4.4GHz? I heard that Haswell-E runs hot, but so does Devil's Canyon.
